A DRUGGISTS COMPACT.
Postage Stamps Not To BE Sold to Women
Under Any Circumstances.

St. Paul Globe.
In ST. Paul drug store, recently reporter
sat smoking cigar that policeman had gwen
him, when pretty maid of about nineteen years
growth tripped in through the doorway, ana
stepping up to to the showcase smiled swee1iy
and asked the attendant If he would sell her a
postage stamp :,
The clerk smiled his loveliest smile and said:
''You can get them on the corner OF Firth ana
Wabasha streets. We haven't any now"
The maiden went out in search OF the corner
of Fifth and Wabasha streets, where she I'M
doubtedly found the postoffi.e. She had been
gone but few minutes when a fat woman, with
perspiration standing out on her face, came In
and said to the clerk: $50
"Give me a two-cent postage stamp, Will
youl"
The clerk smiled again and said: "We haven't
got any Just out You find them on the
corner of jackson and Seventh streets"
The fat woman, muttering something a oons
'what kind of drug store Is this. anyway
went out and waddled off in the direction OF
jackson and Seventh streets.
About five minutes after she had been gone

clerk after the man had gone
WnvF
'Why didn't you give those women stamps as
we'll as the man, and not send them galivanting
around the country after themF
''You amt on, my boy" said he. eff you had
stood behind a showcase of a drug store as long
as have, you would do just as did. Of late
years women have got in the notion of going to
drug stores after their stamps. They'll walk
right past the postoffce dozen times a day and
go drug store for their stamps. suppose
they think it undignifed to stand up in front of
window in the postofice in a crowd and ask for
two three stamps. 1t got SO that about half
the people who in here wanted stamps,
and it took clerk about all his time to attend
to stamp customers. and the great ma ority were
women. Very seldom a man comes into a drug
store to buy a stamp. You see. the women call
each other and set their tongues to running,
and about the first thing they do is to tell each
other where they can get stamps without going
to the postoffice, and before druggist knows it
he has reputation as ssamp-seller.
The druggists stood this for good
many years, but few weeks ago they agreed
not TO sell a woman q postage stamp under any
circumstances. We will sell to men. for they
seldom come after them. Jf had sold stamps
to those women it would have been all over
town inside of three days that this good
place to buy stamps, but that man will never
think say a word about ii. You can bet those
two women won't come here for stamps again for
long time"

BITS OF FASHION.

Large buttons are entirely out of STYLE
Velvet ribbon is lavishly used as garniture
for hats, bonnets and gowns
The high beaver has been displaced as riding
hat for women by the soft-crowned Derby.
Enormous hoop earrings relics of aborig-
lnal styles which seem to be reviving in favor.
Softly-draping silks. variously known as Ben
gaine. Siciienns, faille and Victoria rep, are in
very fashionable favor.
Tea-gowns made of the now old fashioned
white India shawls. with fronts and trains of
blue, green or brown velvet
White straw hats. ornamented with white
feathers, velvet and ribbons, make attractive
headgears to wear at summer resorts.
White flannel. usual, is accorded a warm
place in the hearts of young ladies. who LOOK
upon the mllltary-like decorations which these
materials allow as being very distingue.
Women are now wearing great silver grdles
hanging loose from the waist in medieval fas b.
ion, and supporting silver bound memorandum
and silver pilgrims bottle" by way of yinai-
grette.
Outside of the morning and travelling costumes
made In tailor fashion, but few stylish dresses
are seen made of single fabric. Promenade
suits visiting and dinner gowns. and five O'Clock
and evening toilets are COMPOSED of two and
often three, different materials.
Probably the most serviceable dressy costume
of the day is made of lace draped over black or
colored silk. Black, white and ecru lace yellow
brown, blue, heiiotrope, pale green and old piu K
nets in square meshes, or point d'esprit dots are
used over black colored satin or surah Odd
basaues of contrasting velvet are made to wear
with such skirts, having square-cut neck and
elbow sleeves finished with cuffs and folds of
silk.
Oatmeal cloth is an effective and cheap ma
terial for the summer dresses of girls who make
their own, but is hardly worth dressmaker' g
bill. The prettest way to trim it is with mar
row strips of scrim oatmeal cloth in which
narrow ribbons. silk velvet have been run,
and which may be used for collar. cuffs, revers
and side strips, o. to outline jacket bodice. If
full! vest front is preferred. OR it may be
mounted with collar and cuffs of brown. or
black or stone-b blue velvet, and worn with straw
hat with band of velvet to match.

In the installmsut of the Lincoln History
published in the June Century, account is
given of the famous bred Scott decision, with
quotations from Lincolns and Douglass
opinions on that decision. Lincoln incidentally
referred to the Declaration of Independence in
the following striking language: II think the
authors of that notable instrument intended to
include all men: but they did not intend to de-
clare all men equal in all respects. They did
not mean to say all were equal in
color, size, intellect, moral DEVELOPING emit,
or social capacity. They defined with
tolerabie distinctness in what respects they did
consider all men created equal-equal with
with certain inalienabe rights. among which
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This they said, and this they meant They did
not mean to assert the obvious untruth that all
were then actually enjoying that equality, nor
yet that they were about to confer it immediate
~ upon them. In fact, they had no power to
confer such boon. They meant simply
to declare the right, SO that the en-.
